PICO TATTOO REMOVAL
- Our PICOCARE laser effectively removes all colors of tattoos and pigments with fewer sessions and less pain than previous technologies.
- Depending on the tattoo, removal with the Picocare laser can be completed in 2-10 sessions. The interval between treatments is 8-10 weeks on lighter skin types and 12-14 weeks on darker skin types.
- Laser energy is directed at the tattoo, directly targeting the ink. With each session, some of the ink is disrupted, broken down, and excreted from the body naturally through the lymphatic system.
- We offer a variety of cooling/numbing techniques for comfort during treatment
- Pricing is determined by the size of the tattoo
